Brent, Great to fish with you!

Brent, Great to fish with you! I've been many places, but that was truly special. Great company, good fishing, and lot of laughs! Cannot wait to see the pictures- I'm already warning my fishing buddies to prepare to drool! And the book will be great conversation in the man cave at our new home!

Just a quick note to thank you from the 3 old geriatric fishermen aka the 3 Blind Mice and sharing your magnificent secret of the Rangitikei River.

It wasn’t until we flew into your remote campsite that I realised what we had to offer in NZ in the way of rugged isolated splendour.

Successful dry fly fishing for large trout in a pristine environment – it doesn’t get much better than this.

I suppose that even the most generous hearted fly-fisher will have one secret fishing location that remains undisclosed to anyone. This would represent “Bucket List” material of course.

Thanks so much for giving them such a superb introduction into fly fishing.

Thanks so much for taking the boys - Henry who has never been interested in NZ especially when I get so excited about the All Blacks now wants to buy a house here in Taupo.

We really had a great time with you!

Very grateful for your hospitality off the river and skill on it.

She charged about like Dan Carter with his pants on fire, whilst I held the rod high to keep the leader away from the rocks lurking like an underwater Michael Cullen waiting to separate me from my treasure.

Wilderness Fishing by Helicopter, Raft or 4x4 Access

The 'Overnighter'
The ultimate flyfishtaupo.com trip is an ‘overnighter’ either by Heli-fishing or Rafting. Trips depart from Taupo, taking you to a selected wilderness river located in some of the most remote areas around the central North Island of New Zealand.

If you choose the helicopter option it will transport all the necessary equipment to the camp site returning to transfer you to the starting point where day one of your adventure begins. Start by fishing the crystal clear water where the fish can easily be spotted and will rise to a dry fly.

By late afternoon you will have arrived at the camp site where a hearty meal will be enjoyed along with a chance to exchange stories about the days events. Then comes the best part, as these rivers are known to produce some of the most exhilarating fishing you will ever experience with the “evening rise”. This can last until the sun has set and is the perfect way to finish day one.

Day two begins with a cooked breakfast beside the river, followed by the second part of the expedition journeying up the river for another full days fishing.

Multi Day Trips
A flyfishtaupo.com specialty is the five day, four night trip which allows for some serious fishing. These trips are planned meticulously and in close consultation with our clients to insure that the maximum time is spent fishing. It is possible to fish more than one river on these trips so you can experience different river systems.

All the equipment and food is provided and our company policy is that we carry emergency supplies including satellite telephone and safety equipment.

This trip can also be combined with rafting or access over private land to some amazing spots for both brown and rainbow trout.

We have the option of driving to remote rivers by 4x4 vehicle which opens up another option should you choose not to fly. This option has a minimum of two full days with one night under canvas or hut.

Safety and enjoyment are paramount, so all fishing locations are well researched and customised to suit your needs and ability. Our guides are fully qualified in first aid and when required, carry a satellite phone along with a personal mini sat-alert (EPIRB) when fishing in remote wilderness.
